5Daniel is an excellent tour guide!
Daniel is an excellent guide! Friendly, knowledgeable, full of interesting stories, and a very good driver as well. He was happy to take photos for us, and they all turned out great. Also, not to gild the lily, but he has good taste in hats.

5Great tour of Glastonbury with Daniel
My wife and I had an excellent private tour to Glastonbury. Daniel shared his wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of the historic sites and the region. He is a most pleasant and witty guy. The transportation was clean and comfortable and on time. Highly recommend this tour and Daniel's operation.
5Magical and Historical and Beautiful
Dan was a professional and knowledgeable guide. We went to Glastonbury from Bath. He related all his background in an enjoyable manner. His driving skills are to be well trusted and he knows and shows the beautiful towns , countryside and important sights as well as travel. Glastonbury is so different, so magical and quirky. There is no other place like it. We were shown the ruins of the Abbey, the Tor on the Hill, the Chalice. There is so much history and legendary tales. Dan knows them all. Dan also paces the tour to your walking ability. We’re sorry the time with Dan is over but we are going to return to another tour of his. Thank you, Dan. Paul and Stephanie

About Bath
Bath, in the west of England, is a Georgian spa city of honey-coloured stone, built around natural hot springs first used by the Romans.
Bath's hot springs were first enclosed by the Romans, who built a temple and bathhouse complex here in the first century, now the Roman Baths museum beside Bath Abbey. In the eighteenth century the city rebuilt itself as a fashionable spa in pale local limestone, and the terraces and crescents designed by John Wood the Elder and the Younger, including the Circus and the Royal Crescent, give it its look. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Top-ranked sights in Bath: Roman Baths, Royal Crescent, The Circus.
